Crashing problems with GT710

It fell on my chair, which is a soft surface but not very soft, from around 30 cm and there are no visible damages.

I often monitor the temp. with MSI Afterburner and when I play Tomb Raider it reaches around 60 C, when I'm watching YT videos it stays at around 36-40 C. Edit: I just noticed it reached 45 C on a YT video at 1080p60fps... I guess that's not good?

I find it hard to believe that a 1 foot (30 cm) drop onto a soft-ish surface would have pranged the card.

I believe that those are all acceptable temperatures.

An alternate suggestion: try Furmark (FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net). That's designed to heavily load the GPU. If that doesn't crash it, I'd suggest a software/OS problem.

It's all good now. Apparently it was a driver/OS issue because yesterday I installed Windows 10 64-bit and since then I haven't received a crash or any problem at all. Even the performance is a lot better and a lot of other things, like Cortana, are fixed. I even played Rise of the Tomb Raider (which is a heavy game for my system, barely playable) for like half an hour and everything was fine.

It's rude to say "I told you so".:) (Post #3.)

Happy to hear that it's working.
